Wouldn't run that radio in a truck unless you install a 6m-80m screwdriver antenna. If'n your gonna talk to other truckers, they won't be impressed with its AM performance compared to a Galaxy or Uniden radio. Wouldn't hack the 2000 just to make it a AM radio. Most use it for SSB phone, CW, or digital modes.

Just the opposite. The TS-2000, 590 and 480 all sound very good and loud on AM with some processing. Very clear with good fidelity with the MC-43 hand mic. Even better with other microphones. Adjust the processor input setting to yield about about 5 dB of compression on the meter, set the TX audio bandwidth to 3Khz and the TX EQ to off. You will get unsolicited compliments on the audio.

Never had any complaints on how my TS-2000 sounds on 10 meter AM.

I get good reports on my TS-2000 on AM when using it on 75 and 40 meters.
